RAISED WITH CHRIST

Once you were dead because of your disobedience and and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. ( It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!) For He raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of His grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Jesus Christ.

God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don't be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander and dirty language. Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him. In this new life, it doesn't matter if you are a Jew or Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, civilized, slave or free. Christ is all that matters, and He lives in all of us.

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each others faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

(Words of Admonition and comfort taken from the Bible books of Ephesians 2 vs 1-10 and Colossians 3 vs 1-17.)

Dear friend, have you backslidden and fallen back to dead works, the Saviour stands waiting to receive you back. Forsake sin and return to your Saviour and Lord. Have you never surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, I urge you to do so today so that you will be raised out of sin and condemnation and live a new, glorious eternal life here and in heaven after your death. Pray to God this moment and confess your sins to Him. Ask Him to forgive you and save your soul. Ask Jesus Christ to be your lord from today and commit to serve Him the rest of your life. If you do this, you will experience newness of life and you will be raised to seat with Jesus Christ in heavenly places. God bless you.

People who know anything about cooking, baking, pastry making and juice or wine making, will tell you the absolute importance of getting the right proportion of ingredients to blend and bring out the desirable taste of any food or drink. In many other aspects of production, getting the right proportions is a key focus of the process engineering. While this is true for industrial or domestic manufacture processes, it is also true and a vital element in the making of successful human relationships. The elements of human interaction must come into place in the right proportions for a desirable purpose to be achieved. A little less or a little more of one element can give a very different flavor than desirable.

There are two very important elements of human relationships which need to be present to make a s…

When an accused person stands trial before a Judge in the law court, one of the things done in the course of his trial is that he or she is given a chance to agree with the charges as brought against him or to deny it. The question often put forth to the accused person is this "Are you guilty of these charges or not?" His response is often very critical to the sentence he gets. He may get a reduced sentence if he owns up to his wrong doing and accept that he is guilty. Let us imagine that we are also standing trial in the court of heaven and our eternal destiny is to be decided but many allegations have been levelled against us by our accuser, the devil. Those sinful things we have done are brought against us, and we are asked that question "Are you guilty of these charges or not?" What would our answer be? Friends, though this can only be imagined now, the Bible tells us that after we die, we must face judgment to be rewarded according to the things we did, wheth…

“Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh” – Matthew 18:7.[👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand English?

I have had the prompting for some weeks now to put forward this question to everyone and to discuss the topic it addresses, but I have had a lot of heart searching because on few occasions when I had attempted to do so, I had met with rebuffs and I have heard these words many times, “it is none of your business what I wear”. I risk being seen as carnal by some “spiritual” Christians who feel they are not affected by this matter I wish to consider. I wish to speak the truth though blunt I may be. However bitter the truth may be, it is the only medicine that can cure human malady. Evil thrives in society when people ignore it and turn a blind eye. Darkness can on…

It is my firm persuasion that people will avoid so many problems of life if only they took a little time to read the Holy Bible, the manual of Life. You will not get the best of any equipment if you do not consult its operational manual, in fact, you will eventually damage the equipment if you fail to consult and follow the instructions in the manual. It is the same with life; we will avoid so much pain and heartache if we only paid attention to reading and living our lives according to the directions that God, our maker, has put down for us in the Holy Bible. One of the critical issues of life that has brought so many people pain and heartache instead of the happiness and joy it should bring, has been the issue of love. More often than not, the issues that develop out of the love relationship between people have come to show that not all that glitters is gold. There is a “love” which is not love, it is fake and cannot deliver the benefits that real love can give. A good study of our…

Have you ever been a guest at a party thrown by a king or president of a country? No doubt, you would have many stories to tell of the exquisite decors that adorned the auditorium, the mouthwatering delicacies that were served and the ecstatic feeling of dining with the “who is who” of society. Well, maybe you have not yet been in such feast hosted by a royalty, but if you have been in a rich man’s feast, you may have a partial feeling of what I just described.

You may be like me, who have attended such festivities through the screens of our televisions as we watched every detail of the party beamed to our television screens at home with rapt attention wishing we could be there physically to savor such delight. There may be very many people who know what a king’s feast is like only through the means of …

I listened to a radio program some time ago and the topic of the discussion was the relevance of prophecies in our time considering the number of prophets who release their prophetic declarations for the year at the beginning of every year.[👋🙋💃 Привет!

I was concerned that a majority of what was said by the presenters was to put down prophecies as being an unnecessary thing to give any consideration. It was obvious those radio presenters did not really understand what they were talking about. It may be that many people do not appreciate the necessity of prophecy for our lives today, this is why I invite you to join me as we examine why we need prophecy today.

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful” – Psalms 1:1.[👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand English?

The Scriptures of the Holy Bible are full of pronouncements of God’s favour over His people. This fact more than
all else demonstrates the desire and readiness of the Almighty God to do mankind good. Indeed His thoughts towards us are thoughts of good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11 ), for we are His most prized creation. It is worthy of note, also, that the scriptures not only have the pronouncements of God’s good intentions and purposes for us, but also show how we may access all these benefits. Psalms 1:1-6 is one of those scriptures that shows us how we may access all of God’s blessing for our lives.
